Subject: RE: [xsl] determining position of a document included using document function From: "Bryan Rasmussen" <bry@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 17:28:02 +0100 |
>Could you be more specific about what you mean by "the position of 'file' >in the root document"? The position() function returns the position of the >current node within the current node list, which is not (at all) the same >as the position of a node within a document. actually I figured a way around my problem but I'd still like to know how to do it, as it might be useful at some point. Originally I described it as follows: >If I'm using document() to make a number of simple includes, like > >><xsl:template match="file"> >><xsl:param name="doc" select="document(@href)"> >><xsl:for-each select="$doc"> >><xsl:apply-templates/> >></xsl:for-each> > >>is there anyway to find out the position of file in the root document, >>without trying to do <xsl:apply-templates> >><xsl:with-param name="filepos" select="position()"/> >></xsl:apply-templates> > >>my problem is that I have a template being applied quite low in the included >>documents which needs to know the position of the including document. I was, as is my wont, probably horrendously unclear, let me clarify: I run stylesheet1 against document1, document1 has a structure sort of like in all the classic "xinclude with xslt" examples: i.e <doc> <file href="document2.xml"/> <file href="document3.xml"/> </doc> so when I get to the file node I use the document function as above to load the document referred to by the href attribute, then I apply-templates against that document, however I found in the document I loaded at one point I would really have liked to know something about the position of the file node which had the attribute href from which I knew what document to load! :) I can actually see where that might get very useful to know, or the knowledge of what file's parent is, in cases where I load a document into the middle of another one, which I do often, and I suppose others do as well. Obviously that could be done by passing a parameter but what if, as in this case, I need to apply-templates five or six times before I get to the actual template I need the info in. so I'm hoping someone has a good answer for this, I'm sort of having problems concentrating, and have had these problems for the last week, what with over-consumption of coffee, and finding out all the splendid ways that fop is sort of buggy.
